+ NetSaint is a program that will monitor hosts and services on your
+network. It has the ability to email or page you when a problem arises
+and when it gets resolved. NetSaint is written in C and is designed to
+run under Linux, although it should work under most other *NIX variants.
+It can run either as a normal process or as a daemon, intermittently
+running checks on various services that you specify. The actual service
+checks are performed by external "plugins" which return service
+information to NetSaint. Several CGI programs are included with NetSaint
+in order to allow you to view the current service status, history, etc.
+via a web browser.
